One common Input/Output (I/O or IO) interface used in computer systems is Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe). As PCIe speeds are increased, however, some resulting signal distortion reduce signal communication reliability. For example, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) generally refers to a form of signal distortion where one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols. This unwanted signal distortion can have a similar effect as noise that makes signal communication less reliable. And, some high-speed serial I/O implementations (such as PCIe) operate at frequency ranges at which the ISI becomes a major challenge for achieving a target high-speed data transfer.
